I may be disremembering the exact title, but I believe there is a book
out called "The Tudor Tailor" which covers the earlier Henrican stuff.
It got good reviews, as I recall.

There's even more information in "The Queen's Servants," newly published
by the same people as "The Tudor Tailor." It's pricey for the size (56
pages and an average price of about $35 USD) but I got to look through
it and it's packed with useful information, including a few pattern
sketches--including headdress sketches.

The cheapest source for "The Queen's Servants" that I know of is
Potboiler Press (Googling will get you the URL quickly). Good luck!

I may be disremembering the exact title, but I believe there is a book
out called "The Tudor Tailor" which covers the earlier Henrican stuff.

Not only is _The Tudor Tailor_ a fascinating book, but the authors have since put out two more books that might be of more help to the original poster--_The King's Servants_ and _The Queen's Servants_, both of which cover early Tudor period clothing (1485-1520) as worn by, well, servants to Their Majesties during that time. (Overall, the men's clothing runs a bit lower in terms of social class than the women's, as while virtually all the ladies waiting on the queens were gentlewomen if not actually noble, the same wasn't necessarily true of the men; it's not at all hard, though, to figure out what a gentleman or nobleman would have worn using the book.) They're much shorter books than TTT, and rather pricey (IIRC, my copy of _The Queen's Servants_ ran me around $42 on Amazon), but IMO are very much worth it if you're interested in this particular time period. You can buy the books both on Amazon and at tudortailor.com; it took my book about 5-6 weeks to get here.
